Industrial waste of different origins has been dumped for decades (1950–1980) in a landfill of 150,000m2 area, a few km from the centre of Torino (NW Italy). A large portion of this landfill, estimated to be in the order of 1,100,000m3 and extending over a surface of 55,000m2, is composed of steel manufacturing waste. This study discusses an investigation of this waste mass in order to assess the total Cr concentration and solubility, identify the main Cr-bearing phases and estimate the release of Cr to rainwater leaching through the material and the consequent contamination of groundwater.

Abstract

Industrial waste of different origins has been dumped for decades (1950–1980) in a landfill of 150,000m2 area, a few km from the centre of Torino (NW Italy). A large portion of this landfill, estimated to be in the order of 1,100,000m3 and extending over a surface of 55,000m2, is composed of steel manufacturing waste. This study discusses an investigation of this waste mass in order to assess the total Cr concentration and solubility, identify the main Cr-bearing phases and estimate the release of Cr to rainwater leaching through the material and the consequent contamination of groundwater.
